Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB4.a0, sgpsondewrpnB4.a1
Description:
The difference between the first pressure value reported by the sonde after
launch (935.9) and the surface pressure (941.7) is greater than expected.
The absolute altitudes for this sounding and the ascent rates for the first
30 seconds are questionable.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsondewrpnB4.a0:
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • North Latitude(lat)
  • base time in epoch(base_time)
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Wind Direction(deg)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
  • lon(lon)
  • Ascent rate(asc)
  • Wind status(wstat)
  • Wind Speed(wspd)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
  • -180.0 - +180.0(alt)
